@ 2:15 am EST HABIT tweets aknowledgement to the 15 rabbits chosen by CougarDraven (with one exception) to be eliminated and also that "THIS COMPLETES ROUND ONE" . Less than an hour later, he follows up this tweet by saying: THE FOLLOWING TRIALS WILL NOT BE NUMBER-BASED NONSENSE: THEY SHALL REQUIRE PHYSICAL OUTPUT.

@ 7:00 pm EST Damsel makes 4 blog posts. First an explanation that she and Jeff had been suffering migraines, and that Evan had a cough he couldn't shake. Then when asked about Dr. Corenthal she says that he would be useful to have around given his past battling unknown entities. Next, when asked what she might wish for she replied: "An explanation that adheres to my perception of time." She closed the session with the video for "Animal Bar" by Red Hot Chili Peppers.

9:04 pm EST Jeff tweets confirmation that he is in Angora Chat. While there, Jeff reveals that he buried Jessa's necklace in Trial One and that they plan on taking back Alex's room once they've gotten over their various ailments (which he attributes to the winter weather).

5:31 pm EST Jeff announces via Twitter that they intend to release the video of taking back Alex's room later in the night. Something in the footage is connected to why Alex was wearing a helmet in the 77of76.avi video, and helps them understand when it was taken, if not how.

12:25 am EST Jeff Tweets "Our prayers go out to Jessie and her family this week. Such an unnecessary end for such a kind person. When she's back home...we'll begin to piece her relation to this Doctor together. Somehow. Until then, her family needs her. Thank you, HYBRIDs. [J]"

@3:30 pm EST Vince edits the YouTube description of the most recent video to add: "Despite what Jeff says I am not fine I've got a headache that hasn't let up since last night.

@1pm EST A fan, Slayerboy90, releases a brief interview with Jeff and Vince to YouTube.

2:28 pm EST Jeff tweets: "A few viewers and friends suggested that we check out the Hopewell Public Library. I feel fucking stupid for not considering that. [J]"

10:24 pm EST Jeff tweets: "Alright, the people in Hopewell had no freakin' idea what I was talking about. Driving back home, the world-shattering revelation hit me -- We failed to recall that the "Free Public Library" of ours is located in Hamilton. HPL? We're going tomorrow, as they close at 8. Again, we feel so stupid for this obliviousness, but thanks to the tip-off, we may be on to something. We'll keep you posted. [J]"

Damsel updates her blog.

5:28 pm EST In two tweets Jeff says: "The trip to the library... actually produced something. You guys are incredible. Thanks for the tip-off, once again. I'm going to meet up with Evan tonight and transcribe some notes. Should also have a new update via YouTube. Library trip. Hot damn. [J]"

3:42 pm EST Jeff Tweets: "The semester's winding down. Alex still has school for another month, but it just made me think: growing up I wanted to be a journalist." And follows it with "How terribly far I am from that dream now. What were your pipedreams, HYBRIDs, growing up? Maybe we'll share a laugh or two. Who knows. [J]" He retweeted a reply from The_Alcibiades, then "You guys are incredible. All of you. (And quick.) Thanks for the smile. [J]"
